Recently, I came across some discussions about secret relationships, which reminded me of some experiences of my friends. Honestly, secret love sounds romantic, but in practice, it can be quite exhausting. Take my friend Xiao A, for example. She was in a secret relationship with her boyfriend for two years, and every date felt like a scene from a spy movie, always fearing they might be seen by someone they know. In the end, they were discovered, leading to an awkward situation for both.
When it comes to precautions in a relationship, I believe the most important thing is to maintain one's self. Some girls become so engrossed in their relationships that they lose themselves, completely revolving around their boyfriends and forgetting their own lives. I have a classmate who did everything for her boyfriend, from cooking and doing laundry to even washing his feet, only to be dumped in the end. Her boyfriend said, "I need a wife, not a servant." This statement really makes one ponder.
A relationship should be equal, with both parties contributing, not one constantly yielding. I've seen too many girls who scrimp and save for their boyfriends, dressing plainly themselves but buying brand names for their partners. And what happens? The boyfriends take it for granted and don't appreciate it. Therefore, girls must set their own boundaries in relationships and not lower themselves too much.
Another point is to protect one"s body. Premarital cohabitation is quite common nowadays, but I personally advise against moving in together too soon. After all, if you haven't fully understood each other, rushing into cohabitation is irresponsible to yourself. Even if you do live together, it's crucial to take protective measures to avoid unintended pregnancies. If a pregnancy does occur and the other party has no intention of marrying, it can cause significant physical and psychological harm to the girl.
In conclusion, while love is beautiful, it should be approached rationally. Don't lose yourself in a relationship, and certainly don't harm yourself because of it. Remember, love is about mutual giving, not one-sided yielding. I hope every girl can find true happiness in love without losing herself.
Finally, borrowing a phrase from a netizen: "Learn to love yourself before loving others." This is truly meaningful, and I hope everyone can remember it.
